How does Muslims reach out to Kafirs, Infidels, Unbelievers?

Question

If Islam is the true religion, then how does Muslims spread the news to the Kafirs, Infidels and unbelievers? I haven't really seen any activity from the Muslim community which suggest this. Unless you are born into a Muslim family then you will know of the religion otherwise you are really condemned. Is there any part of the Quran which commands Muslims to tell of the message in the Quran?

Most of what I know is very contrary, that you should 'fight' against the Kafirs, Infidels and Unbelievers.

Thanks for the Muslims friend for the geniune answers. But I am also asking HOW. As what activities do you do in order to reach out to other people? e.g. I seldom see a Muslim invite someone to the Mosque.

Answer 1

I agree not much is done to reach non muslims.

A couple things to note islam commands that

1) 16.125 "Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance. "

Fighting is in retaliation its for those the persecute you. Its a right on those who are persecuted and not for converting people to islam.

Although the verses do say unbeliever ..this is because it is a blanket term that refered to those that would persecute Muslims. ie Muslims were persecuted for their faith by unbelievers, as is the case with any religion.


Now in islam there is a degree of fairness. Those who haven't ever heard of islam they do have a recourse to be judged and god knows best what they are. For instance jews and christians who have never heard of islam won't be judge according to Islam. God knows how much constitutes heard of.
But if they have then they will be liable for rejecting islam.

Answer 2

Many like you are informed of Islam thru the media, namely CNN / Fox etc. Muslims are told to preach the message of the Quran to others. But unlike Christianity, Islam does not receive fund by the millions on a daily basis. Therefore, the activity isn't wide spread compared to Christianity. People may also not see the activities, because they're not looking.

Thru the many attacks on Muslim, you will be surprised on the amount of converts to Islam. So, when people look... they will see, understand and come to believe the true message.

Islam is not a new religion, its the same religion of Adam, Moses and Jesus. Quran and Muhammad was sent to complete the message and correct the misconception that Jesus was son of God.

Answer 3

I believe that all religions try to spread their beliefs to others in order for more people to convert.Islam is no different in this. But what you see in the mass media is mostly showing the corruption and how ppl use Islam as an excuse to do certain things. Islam condemns any ridiculous acts such as "suicide bombings' and "riots" in order to spread the religion. True believers in the faith go about everything in a peaceful manner and they only try to spread the knowledge of the religion in order for people to understand the true meaning of life. Even if you weren't born into a Muslim family you must have heard of the religion in one way or another. The mass media is not such a great source to take in information on the religion. Rather it is best you speak to a few good Muslims who follow the religion peacefully and imply it as a way of life and love.
The Quran explains to everybody that we should spread the words and messages of it in order for life to be a lot better. Allah (God) wants people to understand how life should be, how we should treat each other and how we may live in good hearts. Its the corruption of the people that ruins the messages sent by God. The Quran hold a lot of truth in it. Not only does it make people more humble but it also teaches us so much about this world and the after-life.
Islam does not teach people to find against one another, it teaches people to stand up for what is right and to fight for justice and the right to live well. It tells people that they may choose whatever path in their life to follow but the believers in God, His Prophet and Message, and the after-life may benefit the most. The life we live now is only a test for what we may face after death.

there's a real exciting be conscious to do a search for and study on. Abrogation in the beginning Muhammad went to the jews and christians (i take advantage of the time period christians loosely, the christians round Muhammad back then were gnostics ...truly a cult..) besides, he tried to rework them and prepare them and they rejected his teachings and for years he had like 6 followers. even as his popularity higher and he actual received some political and protection stress power his "approaches" replaced from peacefully thinking jews and christians "brothers" to that beautiful time period "infidel". in ordinary words after he were given money and power did he "abrogate" previous regulations. In different words...."Oh all that stuff about peace is bunk because the most present day element I stated is the biggest." the previous regulations and verses were abrogated and hence now to not truly be utilized to a muslims existence. The very last way Muhammed became became the combating guy who needed his followers to force all the infidels off the Sinai Penninsula. So even as they say it really is a religeon of peace...they're incorrect. it is what i have been studying up on and why i trust there's a lot conflict global that includes muslims. average muslims have 5 pillars, yet followers have 6 pillars they maintain on with. so there's a distinction

Answer 5

if u r a Muslim, then u should know by now, that Islam Is The True and Only Religion Acceptable To GOD (ALLAH). also, if u would have read The Holy Quran with Understanding (with Translation in ur language even), u would have found in many places (verses) which commands Muslims to tell the Message in The Holy Quran to Non-Muslims, But Without Use of any sort of Force, as it is Stated quite comprehensively in The Holy Quran "There is NO Compulsion/Force in Religion (Islam)" (Chapter 2, Verse 256) (it was Not the exact translation, but u can look it up with the Reference). Also, 'fight' the infidels, is only commanded in a war-time situation Only, and NOT other than that. Another thing, the msg of Islam is Peace, Love, Harmony & Humanity, But if u haven't heard This True Message of Islam, its only because of all the brain-washing by the media (cnn, bbc & fox) and those who (sadly) hate Islam and defame It (with false rumblings), But still everyone has heard of Islam (one way or the other), so its the responsibility of every human being on himself to research abt the fact (of Islam) himself, and ignorance is one of the biggest crime a person can commit on himself.
Also, The Message u r looking for is stated in Surah-al-Asr (Chapter 103), which clearly states that Muslims should exhalt ppl to Truthfulness. And, this can practically be done by any possible mean. Like, i m trying to spread the msg of Islam here (with ALLAH's Grace), ppl go door to door to spread this msg, as well as ppl form a group at nearby mosque to decide how they go on spreading the Word of Islam. At the very least, a Muslim can speak a word or two abt Islam to whoever he meets throughout the day (they can be family members, close relatives or even friends). Muslims have to Read The Holy Quran with understanding, and believe it with Conviction, before they go out spreading The Word. To deliver the Message of Islam is a Muslim's job, if he can't convince other, then its Not a Problem, 'coz it is Upto ALLAH (GOD) to decide whom shall recieve the Message with open arms, or who will reject it. u should Not sweat abt if u can't convince others, 'coz ur job is just to Deliver The Message.
Point is (to particularly Non-Muslims) :- Dont go by anyone's hearsay (Not even mine), Do this research on ur own (u owe this to urself) with an Open Mind and Seek The Truth urself. Read The Holy Quran (translated in ur language) with Undestanding, Read Sahih Hadiths (Books of Prophet's Sayings) & Research through Authentic & Reliable Books and Sites (dont fall for those who defame Islam, 'coz they only spread misconceptions and misinformation abt Islam, and can't even back up their comments with sufficient proofs, thus only rumbling Falsehood abt Islam). Do This Research urself, and c if it makes any difference in ur thinking. May ALLAH (GOD) Guide everyone on The Path to Seek The Truth. Peace to All.

Answer 6

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. It is a truely beautiful religion which is often misinterpreted. The religion has been hijacked by fanatics as well as propagandists in the last couple of years. If you listen to what these people say, you're surely getting the wrong picture of a truely inclusive and peaceful religion.

Answer 7

what do you mean by " Islam is a true religion " do you really question whether it's true or not?
well it's as true as christianity and judaism with only one difference, the Quran never changed!!!!
there.
as for the rest of your question we are not out to preach about Islam as Jehova witnesses do!!
the invite to Islam comes by seeing muslims practice their faith and your role is to seek the knowledge and if you find it suitable for you go ahead and convert if you want.
we dont force any one to do any thing.

if you think this makes Islam an untrue religion simply because they dont go around knocking on people's doors with a book in their hands allow me to call you an idiot!!!

now, peace be upon YOU!!!

Answer 8

....unless God himself came and told you to fight...you should refrain....a man wrote the Quran, Bible, and other religious books....unless the All Mighty speaks to you himself....you best try to be good, and share love not war,,,,times have changed and so has people...what was said yesterday...may not be the same words tomorrow.....we were not there....we know not the truth...every religion says they are the right one....it is hard to tell.... Just be good and do no harm to others....spread the word of peace and love.......God will love you....forever..he will see you were an Angel of love and peace....

Answer 9

"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance. (The Quran, 16:125)"

"Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Quran). (The Quran, 25:52)"

Perhaps the second quote could be interpreted otherwise, but I see it as conversion.
